walk into destiny and execute purpose as a slave, in
your mind, your victory is first won in your mind. We
have to think the right things. And even looking at
soul-ties, a soul tie is an emotional bond or connection
that you might have with someone, and if you are tied
to the wrong person or the wrong people, it’s going to
be a stumbling block to you executing your purpose
and not just as a woman but as a person in general.
I had a peek into your book, and I saw that you
dedicated it to women struggling with the battle
of the mind and soul-ties. What impact do you
think that these factors, that is, the battle of the
mind and soul-ties have on a woman’s ability
to execute her God-given assignment and fulfil
destiny?
Oh, that’s a good question (she laughs). You know the
book is meant for believers in general, it’s the battle
of the mind it’s not the battle against the enemy you
know, because the enemy is already defeated. But it’s
the battle of the mind because once the enemy has
your mind, he can control you, he can control you by
planting wrong mentalities, wrong ideologies, wrong
thoughts and as you meditate on these wrong things,
you are watering them, and as you water them, they
begin to grow and grow and eventually, they become a
stronghold, and the way you think and what you think
about yourself is very crucial before you can execute
your God-given assignment and fulfil destiny because
as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he, so you can’t
These factors, can they also be obstacles to a
woman being fully restored?
Oh yes. Absolutely. Because there are a lot of women
out there, who, think negatively about themselves
instead of thinking about themselves the way that
God thinks about them, which is a royal priesthood,
a chosen generation, God’s special person. Instead
of them declaring, I am a woman who is clothed in
strength and dignity I am a woman with wisdom,
they are saying and thinking the exact opposite. And
when you have the wrong mindset, it clogs your vision
because you first see it with your mind before you see it
with your eyes. So, your vision first starts in the mind,
so if you have the wrong mentality, it clogs that, your
vision. And when you have the wrong soul-ties, now
there are good soul-ties, godly soul-ties, but the wrong
one, it will definitely distract you from being restored
because it will definitely become a yoke, definitely.

A woman can find her life again
by simply returning to God. Like I
mentioned earlier, in Job 22:23
Okay. So, what is the solution to these issues?
How can women be free from these mind battles
or negative mindsets and how can they be free
from soul-ties?
Yes, the solution to the first issue, which is the battle of
the mind, is found in Ephesians 6:17 it says to put on
the helmet of salvation, you literally have to be cautious
about what you think about yourself and how you think
about yourself. You know the standard of our thoughts
